What is CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution)?

Most free models on Sketchfab, and most in our library, use CC BY 4.0. It's very permissive. You can use the model commercially, modify it, and include it in a game, film or print. The one firm condition is attribution.

What good attribution includes

Creative Commons suggests the acronym TASL:

• Title of the work
• Author, with a link to their profile if possible
• Source, a link to where you got it
• Licence, with a link to the licence

Also say whether you changed it. For example:

"Fishing boat" by Batuhan13 (sketchfab.com/Batuhan13), from Sketchfab via Objaverse, CC BY 4.0. Textures re-encoded.

Where to put the credit

Anywhere reasonable for the medium: a credits screen in a game, end credits in a film, a caption on a render, or the description of a product listing. Every model page on this site shows a ready-made credit line you can copy.

This is general information, not legal advice. See creativecommons.org for the full licence.
